Myspace...bad or good?

[ScottSadistic]

so yeah...everyone nowadays knows about myspace...and 70% of americans(including myself) have an account. But nowadays...its all you hear about. "Message me later when you get home""dont forget to comment me""You have myspace to? you should def add me"what i dont get is...why be on it so much?so many people these days all talk about myspace. and i have noticed that people these days...a lot of times they keep in contact with myspace. Myspace can be good. Make plans, have a talk with friends...but myspace is also a nest for Sexual predators.* People could just google pictures and look for a diff picture, Save it, Upload to myspace...and BAM they r a completely new person.

so is myspace good or bad?

 

[TheMoonman]

In my mind, I'd become a conformist if I used Myspace.

And I hate conformists.

So it's a definite no-no for me.

 

[ScottSadistic]

ha...thats for a totally diff reason.

come to think of it, this should probably have been put in the debate hall.

oops ><

 

[Xsyven]

Myspace is good in every single way. People just use it idiotically.

 

[TheMoonman]

Myspace is good in every single way. People just use it idiotically.

I'd say that sums up what I think of Myspace

 

[ScottSadistic]

Myspace is good in every single way. People just use it idiotically.

:/

I met my boyfreind on Myspace, so I'd have to say as a social networking site, its freaking awsome!

 

[Mugquomp]

You know, I can't think of anyone who uses myspace regularly like that. Everybody i know uses facebook for that kind of stuff. And myspace is just generally laughed at as being all 14 year olds and pedophiles. But, I do use myspace as a nice lway to listen to new bands. For example, if you read about a band somewhere and are curious to hear what they sound like, just look them up on myspace and listen to the songs they've put up. I think it's really useful in this way. But I would never create a personal page for myself. For my band, yes, but not for myself.

No, if it was good in every single possible way then it would be idiot proof.

Myspace is what you make it, regardless of if your a pedo, depressed emo or High School teen with actual friends.

You are aware you are conforming to non-conformity, right?

I used to not have one, but it's easier to talk to people you really don't want to talk to or make plans with friends.

 

[ScottSadistic]

well, the thing is, its all u hear about here in georgia

 

[Firebert]

well, the thing is, its all u hear about here in georgia

Wow, that must really suck.

 

[Sandy]

Myspace is for 13 year old sluts and Chris Hansen.

 

[Black Waltz]

it doesnt seem that safe to me in terms of adware and paedophiles.

 

[F8AL]

MySpace is for emo kids.

MySpace is for emo kids.

Aww do you guys need hugs?

 

[OnettSphere]

I like it if its used in moderation
Not as an obsession

 

[Me14k]

Facebook is a very useful tool. Not only does it help expand your social community, but it allows for organizations to easily communicate to the members.

facebook ftw.

 

[Mugquomp]

well, the thing is, its all u hear about here in georgia

I always thought Georgia was about 5 years behind the rest of the country, that just proves it.

 

[ScottSadistic]

HA...no...ur talkin about those towns with like a population of 51.

i dont live in those places though, thank god. i live in warner robins. a place where all you hear about are gangs, preppy ppl, skaters, and emo kids (with the occasional redneck crew)

 

[SuperBowser]

Myspace is nice if you like having your eyes burnt out by horrible, horrible colours that don't go together but people think are O.K. to use on their ugly page anyway.

I use facebook. I still don't particularly like it, but at least the colours can't be edited and you don't have to put up with the occasional person's obnoxious music choice. I guess it's useful to talk to people i only see once a week, checking out events and storing pictures on its cool photo tagging thing. the bad thing about tags though is that it ends with drunken pictures of you for all the world to see. hmm. I think some politician (?) got fired after some incriminating pictures were found on their facebook.

I prefer talking to people in real life when i want to get something done, but at uni that's not always possible so facebook is pretty essential. one of my tutors even added me on it =/

 

[KingJiggyWiggy]

Myspace fools like to post their personal information on the net. You can find out almost anything about them because they post their entire life journal.

 

[alwinroth]

i have one but i figure it completely pointless, why talk to someone who lives close to you online, when you can go to their house and do something more fun...i think myspace i good for far distance messaging, but plain stupid if its near...

First off, what? That's over 200 million people, bud. Even if there is that many accounts (which there isn't), there's no way that many people have a Myspace account. And the number of accounts created doesn't even correspond with how many people use the site. Heck, I have two and I don't even use Myspace.

But, anyways, I think Myspace is really trashy. It just looks really poorly put together. It's riddled with ads and the member profilies are so irritating. All of the random colors and music and sparkly crap is really obnoxious. There's a lot of underage dirty girls, but there's still plenty of normal people, too. There're plenty of other grievances but they've probably been stated already.

I do use Facebook, though it has its own problems. With the addition of letting anybody join plus the application spam, it's becoming worse and worse, but it's still very useful, especially for college students.

 

[Chronic Canuck]

meh i don't use myspace or facebook. i figure if i want to talk to them i will use msn or just call them lol

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Myspace has allowed me to get ahold of one of my old friends, so I can't say it is entirely useless.

The overload of information, music, and colors found in most accounts is pretty lame, though.

 

[pyro363]

It's good and bad at the same time in an addicting manor.

 

[calmlunatic]

It's good because it's created a new way for artists to share their music with the world. Take Enter Shikari for example. They played at the London Astoria without an album because everyone heard them on myspace.

 

[adhesiveproduct]

i have myspace to keep in touch with people but i really have nothing on it except for a few random pictures (most of them not of myself) and my brawl FC =]
